“MG,” out April 28, is a 16-track instrumental CD that was recorded following Depeche Mode’s 2013 tour at Gore’s home studio in Santa Barbara.

“I wanted to keep the music very electronic, very filmic, and give it an almost sci-fi like quality,” Gore said in a press release earlier this month announcing his solo project. “Music is a necessity for me. I go into the studio at least five days a week, every week, so once I had the idea and the template, the process was quick and fun.”

The venerable 40-year-old nightclub, which has been a cultural haven and dancing hotspot for the LGBT Latino community for decades, is being considered for demolition to make way for a mega mixed-use development project that would include 695 residential units and 1,391 parking spaces on the almost six acre site.

But LGBT activists and historic preservation experts say time out. They contend that the proposed plan, The Lexington Project, which also includes bulldozing Circus Disco’s sister club, Arena Cafe, is flawed and should be amended to include vital information on Circus Disco as a potential historic resource. Adding the historic information might change the size and scope the project and delay or prevent possible demolition.

Specifically, they point to The Lexington Project’s environmental impact report – a document required by state law that includes a detailed and comprehensive analysis and public disclosure of all potential environmental impacts for development projects as well as all feasible solutions to mitigate those impacts. The report also must take into consideration historic and cultural resources, such as buildings, at a proposed site and the impact if those structures are demolished.

Property owner Gene La Pietra, who has owned both clubs since their inceptions, is the applicant for the Lexington Project.
